Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
Kelly's artwork "Conch Republic Mermaid" will be featured at Orlando Harley-Davidson's BIKE WEEK 2017. The mermaid was inspired by the Atocha shipwreck and a 1950's Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Sharks circle the wreck as a siren of the sea gathers her treasures. Take her for a ride on t-shirts and poker chips commemorating the event. Several Florida Harley-Davidson locations will carry the artwork.

Fine Art
I began painting and drawing when I was a young girl, exploring natural Florida with my parents and brother. We spent all of our free time immersed in nature; either in the woods or on the water. I paint my memories - and I hope you find your own experience alive in my art.

Bonefish and Tarpon Trust
Thank you to all who joined Kelly on February 3, 2017 for the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust's spring fundraiser in Boca Grande, FL. Two of Kelly's one-of-a-kind fish mounts were auctioned and brought more than $5,000 to conservation efforts.
The 34-inch bonefish is painted with a fishing scene showing a shallow water boat and a fisherman sight fishing from the poling platform. Several bonefish are scattered in front of his boat. The second fish is a 54-inch tarpon. The scene she painted is a view from Johnson Shoals looking north to Boca Grande across the Pass. Tarpon and permit gallore!
Kelly is sponsored by King Sailfish Mounts.
